Official Lemmy Community:

This should open the community in your instance
Looks like the Boost for Reddit Dev just reserved a Lemmy Community…No official announcement yet.

The more, the merrier!
Yea, I really loved RiF, so I hope we get Lemmy is Fun. Was a paid user and would support again.
1000%. I’m currently using Jerboa for Lemmmy, which is pretty similar, but I loved RiF’s UI and general “no frills” layout.
If TalkLittle came out with a Lemmy/Kbin browser, I’d get it in a heartbeat.
Jerboa lacks a lot of customization features but hopefully it keeps improving. Sync was my absolutely favourite though and if LJ can replicate those features in the lemmy app it’ll be a no-brainer for me to use Sync.
Infinity for Reddit was my 3rd Party app of choice, boy what I would give for Infinity for Lemmy, seriously hoping
This is really cool for Android users. If Apollo came to lemmy, that would be the biggest kick in the teeth for Reddit.
OH MY GOD ITS MY DREAM COME TRUE
God bless and welcome to the BDC
may it be usable without play services
request that he release it on Fdroid!
Would be great to have other mobile apps fill the gap, so that the devs can focus more heavily on the main site instead of Jerboa.
FWIW, I highly doubt the devs are focused on anything but the Lemmy API right now. In fact, I also doubt they’ve slept in a month.
For sure, even so, it’ll be good to have a really solid mobile app option that doesn’t take any of their focus in the future.
This seems to be the official magazine: https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy

it’s disappointing seeing so many people here excited about something that is not (and apparently not planning to be) free open source software :(
I def prefer people contribute to the existing open source apps (or make new ones), but overall the more the merrier. I’m happy when anyone builds something for the lemmy ecosystem.
I think it’s more of people wanting to stick with the developers and apps that they have used on reddit. Some of which have been using and supporting for almost a decade. It also means more of an endorsement for Lemmy, as some reddit sync users wouldn’t consider Lemmy otherwise. Lastly, a significant number of power users (those that actually post, comment, and otherwise contribute) use third party apps over the official app, meaning that having support for these apps on Lemmy will hopefully bring over quality users and not just a larger quantity users.
That’s my take on it, and I am someone very pro open source.
Any app right now would be great. The web needs some UI tweaks. I hope Apollo comes to light.
Jerboa for Lemmy?
This is a nice one. Pleasantly surprised that an Android client existed and that it was pretty good too.
Awesome. I uninstalled Sync after they stated it would be going down on July 1st because of the updates. It was the a great app. Looking forward to this.
This is absolutely fantastic news! Sync was pretty much my only way of browsing reddit for a long time. This should make the transition much easier.
BTW: Hi everyone, that’s my first comment on Lemmy!
Wow this is huge. Should bring a ton of new users. Spez really shittin his pants now
Boost dev just reserved a lemmy community also. I edited my post with the links.
Brilliant. I love the Boost client and having it would significantly increase my Lemmy usage.
Omg this is amazing, I was actually a longtime Boost user but didn’t want to rain on the Sync parade in this thread.
On another note, I never received a notification about this reply, just noticed it now. I would assume that has something to do with the server strain at lemmy.ml?
Edit: I’m sorry, I can’t find the link to the boost community. Please send it over when you get a chance.
This is exciting! Glad to see Lemmy will be getting so much more attention!
Can someone tell me what advantages Sync has/had over Slide or Infinity? These are the two apps I’ve been using.
It’s entirely about your UI preferences, really. Most third party apps had feature parity, and the features they didn’t have were more niche. You could find something each of them did especially well, but the vast majority of features an average user could want were present in all of them. Boost was my preference for a more graphical experience, and RIF was my default for its simplicity.
Sync has an extremely vocal fanclub because its dev is very involved with the userbase directly, but it’s really not much different from the other graphical ones save for its MaterialYou integration, if that’s something you care about. It’s as respectable an app as the others.
If they had longer than 10 days to live I’d suggest trying each one to see which fits your preference…but…
This is huge! Sync was my favorite reddit client.
We did it
